Duckwhacker; after my daughter finished her university course in environemntal forestry she put in a work term with out west with a lumber company doing assessments, etc. Her university doesn't have a practical requirement like some courses do to show that they can put into practice what they learn.

The biggest cost with be the plant stock, equipment and labour. You may find a grad or senior that's interested but you'll need to budget those other expenses into the project.
